Hey guys im in need of some musical direction. I've been spending a fortune on cd's and i want to make sure my purchases are worth it. this site has been a great help so far but i need some more direction.

Here's a little background of what I listen to

  • PT and all of Steven Wilson's side projects
  • Thrash (metallica, slayer, megadeth etc.)
  • Progressive metal like Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend
  • More metal (High On Fire, Mastodon, Children of Bodom, Sepultura, Nile)
  • Some experimental stuff (Godspeed, Tangerine Dream, and Sigur Ros are favorites)
  • Plus some lighter prog (Ozric Tentacles, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Radiohead)

I know the list is diverse but I could really use some help. Thanks for the advice.

O and please no Dream Theater recommendations. Thanks

Symphony X, Shadow Gallery, Magellan, Mr. Bungle, Watchtower, Tool and Mike Oldfield, if you not have heard them before.
